Chapter 722: Chapter 724 Mu Ruyue Returns (Part 2)
Yao Jun’s face turned pale with shock, and just as he was about to raise his sword in response, a fierce momentum came from behind him, leaving him no chance of escape as Shangguan Lan and Jun Lan attacked from front and back.
In that moment of hesitation, two forces struck simultaneously, and his body was thrown backward like a broken kite.
"Family Head!"
The crowd’s faces changed abruptly, and they shouted anxiously.
Yao Jun’s body slammed to the ground, and as he lifted his head to look at the two figures in the void, one after the other, he suddenly burst into wild laughter, the sound echoing throughout the Yao Family courtyard.
"Hahaha! Shangguan Lan, I, Yao Jun, will not let you off even if I become a ghost!"
His voice, so torn and anguished, was filled with intense rage and hatred, and his blood-red eyes turned fierce, instilling dread in all who saw them.
"I will not give you the chance to become a ghost!" Shangguan Lan looked down from her high position with a smirk on her lips.
"Yao Jun, your fate will be nothing but the dispersion of your soul!"
She lifted her sword high, and it was entwined with a shimmering silver glow. Under everyone’s watch, the sword suddenly grew larger, covering the entire sky.
The sight filled the crowd with not only shock but also endless fear.
"No!!!"
The man in grey, his eyes red with rage, blasted a palm towards Yun Tai and madly rushed toward the elder on the ground.
Compared to these people, however, the elder’s expression remained calm, his eyes resolute, as if ready to face death.
Boom!
The Great Sword fell like a massive mountain, stirring up a ferocious atmosphere. Some closed their eyes, unable to bear witness to this cruel scene.
The grey-clothed man staggered, his aged face turning pale and ghastly, his eyes gradually filling with despair...
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly rushed in from afar, fiercely striking the Great Sword.
With a boom, the sword in the sky was forcefully deflected and shrank back to its original size in Shangguan Lan’s hand.
Everyone looked on in stunned surprise for a moment, unclear about what had just happened...
Whoosh!
Swish, swish, swish!
Many figures flashed forward, appearing before everyone’s eyes.
There were even more of them than the members of the Immortal Medicine Sect, densely covering the sky like ants, their numbers staggering.
But upon seeing the two people at the forefront—
"Miss, the eldest miss has returned!"
"It’s the eldest miss and the son-in-law; they’re back!"
Their gazes fell upon the two individuals, eyes filled with excitement.
Three years had passed. The eldest miss left for three years and had finally returned...
At this thought, some couldn’t help but have their eyes brim with tears.
"Qingqing..."
Yao Jun stiffened, hardly daring to believe his eyes as he looked at that elegant face, his old eyes filling with tears. To see his granddaughter again in his lifetime was all he could ask for...
"Grandpa!"
Yao Yunqing spotted the injured elder at a glance. Her heart felt as if it was being gripped, the pain suffocating her; with a flash, she appeared before him, urgently asking, "Grandpa, how are you?"
Yao Lin’s voice was choked as he shook his head, "Qingqing, go, get out of here quickly! Go, now!"
"Grandpa!"
Yao Yunqing lowered her gaze, then looked up at the sky, where more people were following, and said, "Grandpa, don’t worry, we’ll be alright. Those people... they’re all subordinates of Yue’er."
